* Our patented technology monitors your sleep movements using sound or vibration analysis.
* Sleep Cycle then finds the optimal time to wake you up during a 30 minute window that ends at your set alarm time.
* Recommended placement: Near the bed or on the floor.
As you sleep you go through different phases, ranging from deep sleep to light sleep. The phase you are in when your alarm goes off is critical for how tired you will feel when you wake up.
Since you move differently in bed during the different phases, Sleep Cycle can use the microphone or accelerometer in your iPhone to monitor your movements and determine which sleep phase you are in.
Sleep Cycle wakes you when you are in your lightest sleep phase.
Sleep Cycle was developed using proven sleep science and years of research and development.

Love this app

I've been using this every night for years and I find it really helps me wake up in lighter sleep and not be horribly groggy. The sleep aid sounds are nice too!

Love the app, hate warm breeze

By Erik stop annoying me

I've been using this app almost every night for over three years. It works and it's great to be able to look at the data it records. However there has been one annoyance keeping me from giving Sleep Cycle five stars: it keeps switching the song that wakes me to warm breeze, and I am so sick of hearing it. I set it to play my own music which works sometimes but it frequently switches to the boring repetitive stock music of warm breeze. I've noticed another review with the same issue and I wonder how many others have dealt with this.
TL;DR Wonderful app worth the price, one minor issue with the very annoying Warm Breeze song

It’s good but could be better

I wake just fine to alarms but what I like about this is that it finds the moment when I’m near light sleep to wake me making waking up easier. What I’d love to see is for the app to allow me to set it once, like a regular alarm, and don’t require me to have to start it every single night.

Almost perfect (no Apple Watch support)

This app is amazing and I used it for a long time but the one thing that it is missing is Apple Watch support which could make this app even more accurate, I am
Moving on to another app but if they ever add Apple Watch support, I will definitely use it again

Amazing app- magical!

Records my snores and tells me how much deep sleep I got- amazing

Great app with one shortcoming

I love this app and have been using it for years. I wake up feeling refreshed, and enjoy understanding my sleep patterns and analysis.
Using the microphone to detect sleep analysis is great, but why does one HAVE to lay the phone flat? I’d love to get a dock to charge my phone at night, and with this option the Sleep Cycle light will never dim. At the very least, allow us to have the option of directional phone placement at night ☺️

Disables Bluetooth when alarm is set.

By Shelley2mars

Disables Bluetooth when alarm is set. Have been using for almost a year with iPhone 6s and didn’t notice. Now with new iPhone 7 and no headphone jack the program is totally useless to me now. I don’t want or need any sound monitoring. Why not a preference to turn it off.

Love it - add watch support

Really enjoy this app, would like to see napping and apple watch support for additional input into the ecosystem.

Add a dream journal option

By parker098

I keep a dream journal by my bed so whenever I wake up and I’m ready I can record my dreams. These are the sections I have in the book
1. Date
2. Notes (anything can be put here. Thoughts about why this specific dream occurred or mood about the content of the dream)
3. Setting (time, date, place, day or night, temperature, list of people involved in the dream) in the dream if applicable.
4. The actually dream itself. Tends to be a lot longer than I expect. I like to include many details.
Thanks!

Was wonderful, now doesn’t work

The app will randomly shut off in the middle of the night, leaving you with no alarm. Support team says the only solution is to charge your phone before bed, then run the app on an unplugged phone. Sad to have to switch alarm apps, but have no other choice.
